Operation Manual

3.4 Cold accumulators
One or more cold accumulators are sup-
plied in the freezer; these increase the
length of time for which food will keep in
the event of a power failure or break-
down.
3.5 Removal of freezing baskets from the freezer

1
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to
prevent their accidental removal or fall-
ing out. At the time of its removal from
the freezer, pull the basket towards your-
self and, upon reaching the end point,
remove the basket by tilting its front up-
wards.
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift
the front of the basket to insert it into
the freezer. Once you are over the end
points, push the baskets back in their
position.
3.6 Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior and all internal
accessories with lukewarm water and
some neutral soap so as to remove the
typical smell of a brand-new product,
then dry thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abra-
sive powders, as these will dam-
age the finish.
Check that the drain hose at the rear of
the cabinet discharges into the drip tray

• only freeze top quality, fresh and thor-

• prepare food in small portions to ena-

quired;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or
polythene and make sure that the
packages are airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch food which is already frozen,
thus avoiding a rise in temperature of
the latter;
• lean foods store better and longer
than fatty ones; salt reduces the stor-
age life of food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately
after removal from the freezer com-
